Negroni Cocktail

I love this cocktail. As with a number of cocktails, its origins are somewhat sketchy, but it does seem to go back to the Negroni family from the French Mediterranean island of Corsica.

Ingredients:

1 ounce dry gin
1 ounce sweet red vermouth
1 ounce Campari

In an "old fashioned glass," also known to some as a "rocks glass," add some ice, then add the gin, sweet vermouth and Campari. Stir for a few seconds, then add the orange peel (twisted to secrete a bit of the orange flavor).

WORD HISTORY:
Obesity-This prefixed word, the main part of which is related to "eat," a word from the Germanic roots of English, goes back to the Indo European root "ed/et," which meant "to bite;" thus also, "to eat." This gave Latin the verb "edere," meaning "to eat." The prefix part goes back to Indo European "epi/opi," which had the broad and varied meanings, "towards, near, against." This gave Latin "ob," meaning, "about;" thus also, "because of," and also, "toward, at, upon, near." Together these gave Latin "obedere," meaning "to eat (away at)," and its past participle form was "obesus," meaning, "eaten away until fat." This produced the Latin noun "obesitas," meaning, "fatness." This passed to French as "obésité," meaning, "the state of being fat." English borrowed the word from French in the first half of the 1600s.
